Trust the Road Ahead

Over the past few years I've learned various life lessons, many of which were learned in the most difficult ways possible.  Through these difficult times I've learned in life it's important to trust that when the answer is no, there's a better yes down the road--what's meant to be will be.  You've got to trust the road ahead.

You know how I love my neutral colours but, I can't resist a great pop of colour.  I couldn't help but add the perfect pops of hot pink to this casual boho outfit.  I'm especially lusting over these fabulous pink UGG wedges I scooped up early Spring on sale.  They are just the right amount of pretty pink & total chicness.

Note: Please ignore my hideous tan lines via sunning all Canada Day.  I didn't realize how bad they were until I was uploading these images to my computer.  Oops! 

Wearing: Vest from Macy's, Wedges [UGG]--similar here, Top [American Eagle Outfitters], Jeans old but similar here, Free Spirit Bracelet from Anex, Lip Colour [MAC], Necklace [Forever 21].

I hope this weekend's path leads you to many moments of happiness!

Peony Pretty

A few days ago I enjoy attending the 2014 Peony Show here in Regina.  I wasn't really sure what to expect as I only knew what I had stumbled upon it in the local paper.  I was surprised to find so many different types of beautiful peonies, ones I didn't even know existed, displayed in single flower form, in arrangements and through photography.  I so much enjoyed an afternoon admiring so many beautiful variations of my favourite flower--the peony.

Neutral Zone

This crochet tank, recognize it?  I'm guilty of a re-wear from a post a couple weeks back.  As I had said in that post, it is one of my favourite summer repeat pieces.  I wasn't kidding!  Anyways, here it is again, but paired with more of a neutral palette.  Gotta love a great neutral palette with some pretty pastel pops of colour!  What could be more light & summery then that?

Wearing: Top from Uforia Muse (Regina, SK), Bralette [Brandy Melville], Skirt [Brandy Melville], Sunnies [Forever 21], Ring old but love this one.

Mermaid Style Inspiration

As I scroll through my Pinterest feed, there is no doubt I am inspired by the ton of mermaid type style inspiration.  So with a little inspiration and my own spin on things I bring to you my take on mermaid style.  As much as it would've been fun to make this a totally whimsical outfit, I decided to keep things on more of a practical side by toning down the brights of the water-like romper and pastels of the mani/rings/dip dyed hair with some bold black accessories.  I'm totally lusting over these black gladiator sandals.  They have sure been a topic of conversation in my life.  I can't go out in public wearing them without getting a lot of looks & receiving many comments--my favourite so far being "So how long does it take you to put those on in the morning?"  I would love to see your take on the mermaid trend--be sure to tag me on FB, Twitter and/or Instagram!

Ask Sare: Dressing a Pear Shaped Body

Hey Lovelies!  Welcome to another Ask Sare.  I am excited to be hearing more questions from you lately.  For this week's Ask Sare, a reader was curious about the best way to disguise a larger bottom on a pear shaped body.
The outfit I styled was inspired by the idea of focusing on the waist, which for a pear shaped body I find most important.  It draws the eyes to the smallest part of your body, instead of the largest.  Whether it's a high waisted skirt/pants (like these photos), a belt detailing at the waist or a fit and flare dress, these are my favourite ways to extenuate the smallest part on a pear shaped body.  Here are some other guidelines for dressing a pear shape: keep bolder patterns for the top, statement necklaces are a great way to draw the attention up from your hips and clean lines are always best for bottoms.

[Drawing attention to the waist with the fitted dark waistband.]

[Statement necklaces & ruffles near the face are a great way to draw the eye up.]

Wearing: Coat [Banana Republic] similar, Shirt gifted, Necklace [J. Crew], Skirt [Phillip Lim x Target], Watch [Kate Spade], Shoes [Zara], Bag [Kate Spade] similar.

Have a fabulous weekend & keep sending me those questions!

Mexico Roundup

An impromptu girls trip to Mexico to start off 2014 was much needed and enjoyed!  Lots of laughs and relaxing was the perfect way to start off the year.  My wardrobe consisted mostly of swimsuits and beach coverups, oh, and my new favourite mini floral crown.  As much as I'd love to keep wearing these beachy pieces, I'm back to reality in Toronto now anxiously anticipating Spring.  Here's a tiny roundup of my beachy getaway. 

Thanks for stopping by,
